Today Bleubeard and I are joining Halle at Halle's Hobbies, our host this month at Art Journal Journey. Her theme is A Stitch in Time. After I saw Try it on Tuesday's latest theme, I realized it might fit their Masculine theme, too.
As the blog post suggests, I called this A Time To Fly. I got the idea for this page from my dear friend Valerie who, in the past, has deconstructed some of her art and used it in other challenges.
I suspect the tag was for a steampunk inspired tag at Tag Tuesday sometime in the past.
I added the clocks to the cogs, an additional strip of clocks, cogs, and a compass so the man knows his way. I didn't realize the color of the strip's substrate would be so different. 
I also added some of my handmade shimmering mists. 
Lots and lots
and lots more sewing ensued.For this page, I started with a premade and formerly shown tag with what appears to be a steampunk theme. The tag has now been sewn to part of a used file folder, which in turn has been sewn to a sheet of 110 lb. cardstock. More clocks were stamped, along with a few shimmering mists.Bleubeard and I are thrilled you joined us today, and we also hope to see you at Art Journal Journey as well as Try it on Tuesday.
That's a fun piece Elizabeth. Glad you like the idea of de- and re-constructing pieces, it's fun to watch how the pieces change. Have a geat day, it's cold and windy here still, but never mind! Valerie

ReplyDeleteI think it fits both! I love the color and the layering of the clocks and the compass thing just works perfectly. This is really a nice piece, Elizabeth. I love that graphic. You know I have a soft spot for bicycles (and those who ride them!)
ReplyDeleteIts a fabulous journal page and it fits the TioT and AJJ themes so well. I love the vintage style, the clocks in the background and the bicycle flying machine looks looks amazing.
